1. The President of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo, has said Al-Qaeda and Boko Haram are taking advantage of poverty in North-East Nigeria to recruit new members.

Akufo-Addo, who stated this on Monday, while on a working visit to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Commission in Abuja, said the insurgents were also making inroads in the Lake Chad Basin, Mali and the Greater Sahel.

2. The reelected Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, on Monday, said the lions and tigers of the State have been caged.

Obaseki said his victory at the Saturday’s governorship election was an indication that the tigers and the lions in Edo State politics have been permanently caged.

3. An observer group in the just concluded Edo State Governorship election, Intercontinental Leadership Initiative, has faulted the integrity of the Sept. 19 poll.
